Read up on the autosave feature in Maxim, very useful for automating mono imaging. Also take note of the led lights on your FW, they light depending on the colour filter eg G, R, B, W and purple for Ha. Match these to the filter positions in the FW, the ascom driver form and on the autosave form in maxim. You may find the delay before first exposure (~ 8 sec as the FW is slow) and delay between exposures (~ 30 - 60 sec depending on mount) settings in the autosave useful as well. The no USB during download setting on the ascom driver can play merry hell with autoguiding but is essential for noise free images...... best to have a gap between exposures to let the guiding settle down. If you have the gear to autofocus then you can set the lot up and leave it to do its thing.
